According to the National Weather Service, Green Bay received 1.05 inches of rain on Monday. That breaks the record of .88 inches set in 1924.

Appleton also broke a long-standing record with 2.15 inches recorded Monday. The old record of 1.76 inches was set in 1942.

At least one area road was reported to be closed due to a washout from rain and the Fox River.

Emergency officials said that while the rain surge created some difficulties amid this unusually soggy spring, the record-setting rainfall wasn’t enough to raise any major flooding concerns in the region.
